Interruptingthe lsothermalTransformation Complicatedmicrostructures are pro- ducedby interrupting the isothermalheat treatment.For example,we could austenitize t the 1050steel (Figure 13-B)at 800"C,quench to 650"C and hold for 10 s (permitting I someferrite and pearliteto form), then quenchto 350'C and hold for I h (3600s). Whateverunstable austenite remained before to 350'C transformsto bainite. d The flnal structureis ferrite, pearlite, and bainite. We could complicatethe treatment i- further by interrupting the treatment at 350'C after 1 min (60 s) and quenching.Any lr austeniteremaining after I min at 350'C forms martensite.The final structure now id contains ferrite, pearlite, bainite, and martensite. Note that each time we change the temperature,we start at zero time! In practice, temperaturescan not be changed of instantaneously(i.e., we cannotgo instantlyfrom 800to 650or 650to 350"C).This is f-.' ru why it is better to usethe continuouscooling transformation(CCT) diagrams.

Quenching hardens most steels and increases the toughness. This has been known for perhaps thousands of years. For example, a series of such heat treatments has been used for making steel and JapaneseSamurai .
